How long can a broker hold my deposit for an apartment that I am applying for, while they process my application (new york)

Dear how long to hold my deposit? First do you remember what you were told when you applied for the apartment? Next look at your deposit agreement for a more precise answer. If no clear answer in the agreement, ask the broker. Where is the apartment location? If in New York City, due to the Storm everything is off schedule. That might be all that is going on.
